Synopsis: Daniel Mercer is a celebrated intellectual whose bestselling work argues against labeling children as gifted, exceptional, or intellectually superior.

He and his wife Nora pride themselves on raising their son according to the enlightened principles they publicly defend.

Then the school calls.

When Elliot's teachers suggest that the boy may be struggling academically, an ordinary parental meeting triggers an extraordinary domestic crisis.

As the family becomes entangled in educational assessments, institutional politics, and the anxieties of contemporary parenting, their supposedly progressive worldview begins to disintegrate.

A dark comedy about ideological vanity, parental ambition, and a society that claims every child is special but struggles to accept one who may be entirely ordinary.
